Dry-Aged-Beef is considered the king’s class among the steaks. Anyone who slips during the preparation will end up with little joy with the dry-aged steak. Perfect enjoyment requires not only a high-quality basic product, but also the correct preparation.
Directly from the refrigerator into the pan, the dry-aged steak is death. Because of the strong heat change, proteins and water are released at once. The result is a gray, dry edge. Before the dry-ate steak bounces into the pan, it should be sufficient time to unfold at room temperature (30-60 minutes).
Before marinating or salting afterwards? A good dry-aged steak does not need much. On the contrary, marinades can rather cover the taste of the meat. Salt needs a perfect steak but absolutely and here is the time to decide. If meat is salted, it draws water to the surface. A film is formed. This process takes about 15 minutes. If you wait another half an hour, the salty film dissolves and the water returns to the steak. The salt, so to speak, reaches its very core.
The dry-aged steak should always dry in the pan. Because the water on the surface evaporates first and prevents the formation of roast aromas. Simply dab the excess moisture with a cookie from the meat.
To emphasize the unmistakable roast tint of a good dry-aged steak, it should be strictly fried. This creates the crispy brown outer skin, which not least from the sugar in the meat receives a fine caramel-like note. The pan is first heated, then the fat follows. If it has reached the right heat, the dry-aged steak may be added. 60-90 seconds per side are sufficient to produce the said flavor components. The pan is particularly important here, which is why DRY AGER has developed a pan especially for steaks: The Steak Pan.
Roasting is followed by cooking. For this, the stewed meat migrates into the preheated oven (150 degrees). Here it is to go through to the desired cooking point. The easiest way to determine this is using a meat thermometer. If you do not have one, you can also use the thumb test. The consistency of the dry-age steak is literally felt.
